Niederländische Grafik 1442–1620, c. 1475

The image shows a full-body figure standing with a mitre on their head and a green fabric hanging from it. The person's eyes are closed with a calm expression, wearing a robe with red and white stripes and holding a crozier in their left hand. A smaller figure beside them is kneeling, wearing red and white clothing, with clasped hands. In the background are two figures near trees in a green landscape with hills. The scene is framed with a red border.
